Sickening, considering the entertainment industry and media should shoulder most ofI the blame to begin with.

Maybe we need to look st the 1st Amendment a little more than the 2nd........

Dont think for a minute that if our cherished 2nd Amendment rights are on the table, that their 1st Amendment is safe.

Nobody is protesting these movies, games, and media that glorify these activities, why?

We have a culture problem, not a gun problem.

Hypocritical much? Stars that use a gun violently in a movie or TV show, but are against real gun violence or your abilty to obtain the gun of your choice.....

Sorry for the language, may want to consider before reposting or I believe you have an option to turn it off.

The glorification of violence and "bad boys", largely by Hollywood, is a contributing factor to our problems IMHO.

I for one, refuse to spend one hard earned nickel on anything these idiots put out for entertainment.
Some people think I am crazy, but I think it is my little way to make a statement, plus it keeps me out of movie theaters where I could be shot!! ;D

What do we expect from people who play dress-up and pretend ? Shall Not Be Infringed ! Call the people who are supposed to represent us. Be the itch that turns into a rash and won`t go away!

I agree.  When I was younger I used to love going to the movies.  Sometimes I would see two or more a week, but as I grow older (and maybe wiser) it sickens me to fund a group of people who stand firmly on the opposite side of the fence on issues I deem gravely important.

IMHO, I think these artists know that their lives are shallow and meaningless.  So they are struggling to find that one cause which will make them feel they have some value in this world.

They are very few and far-between, but there are some in Hollywood that seem to be on "our side."

Though, enjoying guns and actually advocating the protection of the second amendment are two different things, I guess -- as evidenced by the video in the first post.

I can't find the clip right now, but "Ice T" is another one that I've actually seen defend the 2A on camera.

Am I the only one who doesn’t even know who over half of those people are?

I bet they got paid good for that though.

Just got around to reading other posts and realized this was posted elsewhere earlier in the day, but still want to point it out.
